CAIRO: Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby on Saturday said that the bloc should review its peace proposals to Israel and its entire stance on the peace process in response to the conflict in Gaza.

Member states should “reconsider all past Arab initiatives on the peace process and review their stance on the process as a whole,” he told an Arab foreign ministers’ meeting.

Qatar’s prime minister earlier delivered a biting criticism of Arab League meetings, and called for a review of the pan-Arab body’s dealing with the Palestinian issue.

“Our meetings have become a waste of money and a waste of time,” Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem Al-Thani told Arab foreign ministers gathered to draw up a response to Israel’s attack on Gaza.

“We are meeting today and we will issue a statement. The statement will mean nothing,” he said.
“The whole situation needs a clear and honest review… We can’t keep giving hope without delivering,” Sheikh Hamad said.
